*Beyonce had a personal message for thousands of U.S. troops stationed in Kuwait and Afghanistan who were surprised with a New Year’s Eve screening of their HBO special “On the Run.”
“I just want to say a big thank you to our troops for everything you do to keep our country safe,” she said in a message that played during a USO countdown to 2015. “We all sleep better at night knowing that you guys are protecting us, and we’re filled with gratitude.”

“Watching the On the Run concert made me forget I was in Afghanistan for the holidays … thank you,” SSGT Ferguson — who is stationed at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan — said, according to a USO press release.
